About JUSTA

The collective members learn everything I learn. We teach each other. As I continue to equip and empower them with continuing education and business knowledge, my goal is that these women will continue to grow this project for themselves. I will always be with them, but their strength will allow them to become more and more independent.

Kem Ajachel Garden Entrepreneur Project

To help create Flora and Kem Ajachel’s dream, JUSTA collaborated with NuMundo to build this backyard garden. Together, we built a space following local permaculture principles and featuring a variety of local medicinal herbs and plants that create natural plant dyes! The space is also economically self-sustaining with public tours and natural dyeing workshops that subsidize local artisans to experience the same educational opportunities!

The garden features:

a complete rainwater catchment system with soaker hoses for watering the entire garden

a banana plant circle to provide nitrogen and water to the soil as well as surround our compost area
